Description:
The Appalachian Regional Commission awards grants from funds appropriated to the Commission annually by Congress.
ARC awards program grants for projects that benefit the Appalachian Region by furthering the five goals identified by the Commission in its strategic plan. Typically, ARC grants are awarded to state and local agencies and governmental entities (such as economic development authorities), local governing boards (such as county councils), and nonprofit organizations (such as schools and organizations that build low-cost housing). Program grants are made to nonprofit organizations.
Most program grants originate at the state level. Potential applicants should contact their state ARC program manager to request a pre-application package.
The local development district serving the county in which the project is located may provide guidance on a project's eligibility for funding and assistance in preparing a grant application.
